Remi (impostor)

Remi Julien (1530-) was a Hungarian nobleman of the mid-16th century.

Biography
Remi Julien was born in Pressburg, Kingdom of Hungary in 1530 to a French noble family, and, in 1558, he arrived at the court of King Henry II of France to seek a bride following the deaths of his two previous wives. He met Lady Greer Norwood of Kinross, a Scottish lady-in-waiting to Mary, Queen of Scots whose parents knew Julien's parents through a distant cousin, and he met her at the "Queen of the Bean" competition. The wealthy and kind Julien became betrothed to Greer, but he cancelled the betrothal after discovering her indiscretions. He instead became betrothed to Mary Fleming after knowing her for little over a month, but Mary was shocked to discover that the "Lord Julien" whom she had met was not yet a lord, as his uncle was the real lord. She accidentally killed his uncle, leading to Julien and Mary leaving court to avert suspicion, and they later decided to part ways rather than be implicated in the uncle's death.
